		<description><![CDATA[This has been a good spring for seeing birds in our local park. In addition to the pair of Yellow-crowned Night Herons that returns each year, we have two and possibly three pairs of Mallards nesting along the stream. During my morning walks with the sprout, I&#8217;ve seen the usual suspects (Northern Flickers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The startling green stream at 5:30pm. Slightly further upstream. Once again, a company upstream dumped a whole bunch of stuff down the storm drains that flowed directly into our stream. This seems to happen every couple of months, which is frustrating (to put it lightly) to those of us working hard in town to clean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have vowed that this will be the year we make progress on converting the yard and garden to native plants. This means saying goodbye to the orange daylilies, forsythia, dwarf almond, lilac, and crape myrtle sprout (the large one can stay for now). Wait wait, you might be saying: most of these are popular, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Purple crocuses. White and purple crocuses. After several years of hoping, my crocus bed is now full of crocuses! It&#8217;s nice to be greeted at the sidewalk steps by perky little flowers when returning from our walks. The daffodils are budding, and we have the first flower along the side of the house. I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

It stayed long enough for me to make it outside with both the [...]]]></description>

We first headed to Lake Artemesia, and kept on driving when we saw a park ranger directing people into the lot and a big sign announcing a fishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had planned to visit my family in Ontario this weekend, but with the three feet of snow we&#8217;ve gotten in the DC area this week, we postponed that trip until after the thaw. Which is good, because the weather they&#8217;re getting on the other side of the Lakes this week is likely to swoop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a completely gray and rainy Sunday, we took advantage of the beautiful clear weather to walk around Lake Artemesia. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I was up there; they&#8217;ve completely repaved and widened the path around the lake, and have removed at least one tree the roots of which were growing up through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ruby-crowned Kinglets are making their way through our area, likely somewhat stalled by the nasty cold rain we had most of last week. On my way back from the mailbox this morning I passed several little chatterers flitting around in the bushes near the public library. Even better, yesterday I had a kinglet hover [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During our week in Acadia, we saw (or heard) about fifty birds. I had this idea that we would be finding warblers everywhere we turned, however, they seem to have mostly migrated by now. We did see a number of new species of warblers and other birds, enabling me to add about a dozen new [...]]]></description>
